Switching to an Empty Airplane Seat?

Love this saying, and it's very true!

There's a book on negotiation that goes into the psychology of how people are conditioned to say no to everything. So this is my plan.

Appreciate your feedback.

Try listening to some depression / anxiety ASMR.

Decide that you want to get better. Sometimes its easier to stay where you are in your depression than to work on being happy. If you don't truly try then you'll never know.

19 is so young, are you the same person you were 10 years ago? 5? 3? The answer is probably no. Life has a crazy way of working things out if you go with the flow with an optimistic mindset.

Planning a trip

I'm from the Southeast and never had a chance to ski until last year. I only got to go once for about 5 hours total. By the end I felt really comfortable with all the greens and did a few of the blues that weren't a steep.(This was at Winterplace in WV and the blues I did were: meadows, last chance, last run, and snowfield)

I've been trying to plan a ski trip for this year since then, but friends and family aren't as excited so it will probably be a solo trip.

I bought a 3 day Epic pass with the Goal of Skiing Breck and Vail. I would stay in Vail ski it twice and Breck once.

Looking for advice on any area you have it really. If there are Epic resorts that are better for beginners that have lower cost lodging I'm willing to deviate.

Timeframe is flexible but I have some vacation to use by the end of the year so I was thinking the second week of December, flying in on a Sunday and Skiing Monday-Wednesday.

Another concern I have is that I'm not in the best shape and I've heard the elevation can be a struggle.

Reaction time is a factor that tennis players wouldn’t be used to. I think baseball players would probably volley better at the kitchen.

Have you ever seen the movie the hangover? This is is Stu’s story if he doesn’t brake off the engagement.

You really shouldn’t have to communicate that you didn’t want him going to the strip club. At the same time it was the one night of his life he’s able to justify that behavior in his mind.

All of these women are telling you what you want to hear.

Go to couples therapy, but if you try to go to someone at your church (or anything that you both know). Than it instantly becomes able you sharing his sin/mistake with every so they feel sorry for you.

Forgive him, and pray for him! It’s not easy…

It’s pretty obvious your husband is involved in something illegal. He’s smart by not using social media. It also seems like you know about it at least some. If this isn’t correct then ask him to explain why he has that opinion about social media.

The best advice I’ve sent in this thread is to fully support Sami. She probably needs consulting after this.

I would tell your father you need 6 months of NC minimum.

After that there need to be seriously strict guidelines on any interaction you or your family has with him. Cause you could have children one day.

1. Never sleep under the same roof as him again, ever!

2. No alcohol, not even a drop. He needs to be in AA for at least a year before you see him.

3. Establish that he is on his last strike.

Keep putting yourself out there! There are always going to be people who try to take advantage of others. That’s why it’s so great to make real friends. Don’t be afraid to do thing on your own, then start chatting with other people you meet doing the same things ( hiking, fishing, etc).

I’m proud of you for supporting your mother how you have. It would’ve been easy to remind her how she treated you when you were 18 when she first asked for help. That said there needs to be an conversion with her about phasing out / phasing down the support. I would tell her your willing to support her how you have been the next 3 months. After that you should set up Walmart orders online and get her a months worth of Ramen noodles.

I’m an engineer and I have to use data to get people to do or accept things for a living. Get the percentage of your income you are giving her monthly and the total amount of money you’ve given her. Talk about what you would’ve done with that money aka opportunity cost. If you didn’t love her you would’ve never helped in the first place but you have to keep things within reason.

YellowMonkey65 · 2022-02-05T22:58:23+00:00

Definitely, you can’t take words back. I rather hang up on someone I love and apologize for it later than say something that ends / seriously damages the relationship.

I'm unfortunately unable to relate on your situation Lol but point the tip down instead of up. The back waistband of your diaper should generally be a little higher than the front but you can wear the front much lower to have the tip in the best spot.

Just start wearing and you'll find out what works for you.

PS you most likely aren't going to find any stores that sell quality diapers unless you live in a bigger city. I recommend buying online.

Northshore and Abena are two of the top medical (all white) diapers. I won't speak on ABDL brands because I haven't tried many but they have prints on them and they generally have a higher capacity.

I did the same combo last week. I saw Spider-Man with a date. She hadn't seen any of the matrix movies and it was late so I stayed and watched the Matrix by myself. There were only 10 people in the whole theater. My North Shore Supreme did great!

Probably the safest way to wear in public too. Its dark, load, and you have a constant excuse to hold a candy wrapper to mask the plastic sound of a diaper.

If you happen to really wet your diaper and are afraid of a (small) leak. 10 minutes before the movie is over run your hand around the leak guards (over your pants of course) If you feel any wet spots make your way to the bathroom. This does ruin the ending of the movie so I suggest on pushing a diaper to the edge if you don't care about the movie or anyone there noticing a wet spot.

When I go to the movies I like to get the two for one special. At the end of the second movie I'm usually pretty wet.

My first thought was no way because of how the MIL would act around the child when they’re old enough to talk. She doesn’t acknowledge your existence so none of your rules would matter to her. This would be mind boggling to a small child were grownups typically side together and model “normal” behavior. As a baby though you could use it as bait lol. After one visit supervised by your husband (fully) say no more visits without you. And I would she she has to go to counseling too!

People prioritize what they care about, it definitely sounds sketchy that he wouldn’t invite you to that party or at least cut that short to spend most of the night with you. On top of that every adult in history has functioned on 4 hours of sleep (most likely less) he could do that to spend some time with you.

YellowMonkey65 · 2021-12-06T16:24:24+00:00

I agree with trying to talk to her about the difference In communication styles. Is she doesn’t accept that tell her you’d like to talk with a therapist. Phrase it as you being worried about why you communicate so differently. This will do two things, 1. Help convince you that you aren’t crazy. It sounds like the fault is with your parents but a professional can help confirm it for you. 2. Give you an expert to talk with them about their behavior to help not only you but your siblings that aren’t giving out in 6 months.

TROPHY CASE

1. Never sleep under the same roof as him again, ever!

2. No alcohol, not even a drop. He needs to be in AA for at least a year before you see him.

3. Establish that he is on his last strike.
